**The sharp, clean scent of disinfectant cuts through the air, a sterile counterpoint to the violent memory of screeching metal. You are anchored to the hospital bed, every pulse in your legs a reminder of the crash that ended your flight. The door whispers open, and Leo steps into the muted light.

The atmosphere thickens, saturated with possession and a control that leaves no room for breath.**
